An unnamed Samsung executive confirms what we feared last night when the Korean manufacturer said that the Samsung Galaxy S III would be the first device with quad-core 1.4GHz Exynos processor under the hood; the executive said that in the U.S., a dual-core Qualcomm CPU will be used...

looks like its finally time to start buying iphones on contract to fund my international phones that i want. too bad the carriers are all on the LTE bandwagon all the time. while the speeds are nice, i'll take hspa+ and longer battery

Exactly. The two reasons I look forward to Samsung flagships are Samsung's processors and displays. The Exynos in the GSII outperformed all competing phone processors that were clocked at the same speed.

they still used the S3 in their version of the Galaxy S II to support HSPA+ 42mbps. it looks like all versions of the Galaxy S3 will use S4s in the States being that AT&T, Sprint & Verizon use LTE & T-Mobile will want to use HSPA+ 42mbps.

So quad core phones just won't sell this year in the US. So its just a upgrade to a HD screen, wow, talk about hype. This is an example of moving forward way to fast with phones while not making sure newer tech works with each other. Well, its better anyway. Next year will be every SGS2 users upgrade after the 2 year contract. By then people can just get the sgs4 which should have LTE working with the newer CPU/GPU.

I want Galaxy S3 at T-Mobile newer dual core is better than quad core draining battery very fast plus phone don't needs 4-core anyway like tablet or laptop. Phone is for talk, text,web and video only no AutoCad or PC softwares that required 4-core. Quad core is phone companies are competing each other to be a top dog but we don't need it.

Wow u actually believing their marketing talk about 20% less power ? Lmao. Anyway, what's the point of all this "I NEED MORE COREZ" madness ? Are you buying your new smartphone just for bragging about your benchmark scores or playing boring games with high requirements ?

With your 10 years experience as a Samsung engineer, I'm sure you know, all too well, that their "marketing talk" is a fallacy.

Android is a multitasking OS, so clearly it wouldn't make any sense in the world to have different cores allocated to different processes, as is done on desktop PCs.

I also like how you state "boring games" as if it were fact, rather than your singular minute opinion.

If you want to talk about overpowered specs, then technically the LG Vortex I'm currently using is more than you need. It has a 600 mhz CPU, 512 mb RAM, 32 gb SD card. It runs the OS perfectly, as it comes with vanilla Android stock. It has more than enough power for any app, aside from advanced games. I'm sure you're not using a phone that has higher specs than this, right? Anything more advanced would just be battery wasting bragging rights, no?
